I believe not giving up on doing things.

I was lucky . . . [in Los Angeles] I found what I wanted to do when I was 11.

[about moving back to Montreal] With friends and family in Montreal, it's always in the back of my mind. I like going back. I miss the nightlife. It's such a great city. I've been a lot of places in the world, and I'm sure I'm biased because I grew up there, but I love it. Show less «
